If there was an apple, it's all gone now Even the stem and the seeds, she don't remember how Once her skin was golden but she stayed till it burned Fell asleep in the sunshine, you would think she'd learn If you gave her sweet lemon pie, she'd ask for lime If you gave her eight days a week, she'd hold out for nine Now she says she wants to fall in love One more time If there was a garden, they've closed the gate Our friend she is knocking, she knows that she's late Empty with hunger, she whispers with thirst I know you don't trust her, you saw her at her worst When she begged for a nickel and you gave her a dime And she still showed up on Sunday to drink the free wine Now she says she wants to fall in love One more time If you gave her an apple, she'd plant the seed Kneel in the garden, get dirt on her knees There would be sweet trees and shade if she had her way Somehow I believe her when I hear her say That she could be true, she could even be kind Could see it through, finish the line She could be true, she could even be kind Do you think you could spare her one more rhyme? Would you let her fall in love She only wants to fall in love Asking please to fall in love Begging please to fall in love Would you let her fall in love One more time?
